for sny other place than heaven.
There is nothing Catholic about
him. He L. o. narrow and con-
tracted a. his own head and could not
step high enough TO get to heaven II
he had an eternity to do IL in. To be a
Catholic in the true sense Is to be a
broad gusge man, yard wide and all
wool. Father William Walsh in his
excellent and appropriate sermon at
the laying Of the foundation stone Of
st. Mary's convent and school gave a
fine definition OF wha. 1t is to be a
Cstbolic-to be free as Christ was free,
and to bs universal in respect for all
men and entertain each according to
his deserts and not after ones OVID.
"The people Of this country" said
Father Walsh "are characterized
by more Of the general Catholic in
stincts than are any other people on
the face Of the globe" That Is true.
Father Walsh forgot to say that this
condition Of things was largely due to
the Democratic press and the
Democratic party, which fought
Knownothingism and put it down
forever. But the good man, we
suppose, did not care TO take politics
into the pulpit. His VIII Die sermon
was in fine tempe and was keyed in
the right tone. 1t was full Of genuine
Catholic sentiment, such as the above
sentence is sample. From far away

THE APPEAL As A RELIGIOUS
ORGAN.

The APPEAL Is the religious as well
as Democratic organ Of the Mississippi
Valley. 1t is truly religious, and it is
In the broadest sense catholic-that is
Il opens It's columns to all creeds. The
APPEAL furnished proof OF this yester-
day. 1t contained an excellent sermon
from the Rev. Mr.. Ashdeld, Of st Pc
ter's, on the balefdl effect OF evil
speaking, in which the preacher
laid down three good old fashioned
rules, the last OF which con-
tanned "all the law and the
prophets" "(S) Do not say OF another
what you would not want another to
say OF YOU" This is especially appli-
cable TO the grand jury that presented
President Hadden. II its members
had stopped a moment and asked
themselves II they would like to have
such construction put upon their
every day conduct as they put upon
Hadden's, they never would have pre-
seuted that report. Had each Of them
put himself in Hadden's place they
would never have put 80 unjust con-
struction upon the evidence adduced
| az to his conduct as a public Off GER.
Mr.. Ash6eld's sermon was very ap.
proprlate. Equally so was the sermon
at morning service Of the Rev. Dr.
Daniel, Of the First Presbyterian
church, who impressed his congrega'
ton not with the stupid idea that
they must not accumulate wealth, but
that they must not give themselves
absolutely to worldly things to the
neglect OF things spiritual. There isr
the reverend gentleman pointed out,
q difference between ths church and
the world that must be kept con

muuity. Impressive and timely, too
was the sermon OF Mr.. Briney, o
the Christian church, who, In mucl
the same vein as DR.. Daniel, PROVED
that the kingdom OF Christ ia not o

VIII the Vacancy be Filled BY New
Orleans News From the

There was big stir among baseball
players and the public Be 1erslly when
IL became known that the Mobile club
had been ordered TO disband. A tele-
gram was received by Manager Kelly
from Mr.. E. +. Frank, president OF the
Mobile association, authorizing bin to
close up shop and settle with the play
ers. His reason WIS that the law pro.
hibiting Sunday games bad passed.
Mansger Kelly mad purchased his rail-
road tickets, aud the club was to have
left the city last night. The surprising
intelligence knocked all previous ar
rapgements into a cooked hat, how
ever, and many Of the players will
doubtless tarry here for several days.
The visiting manager announced
the tidings Just as his men were get
ting toto an omnibus to proceed to the
Memphis and Charleston depot, prior
to leaving for Savannah. Instantly
there was hurrah, IN which bystsnd-
ers ined ,butno one appeared startled

men, who inquired II they were re-
leased. swell, l should smile; coz

asked what be aud his men intended
doing, the manager replied: GAS for
the men l cannot answer. l will get
out OF town as soon as possible"
Manager Sneed was on hand, bid
ding the boys goodbye, and he heard
the news with sadness. He Is OF the
opinion, however, that the league will
survive. "New Orleans" he said
will take the vacancy, giving her two
clubs. Manager Brennan, OF the New
Orleans team, told me this when ht
was here" The following special from
Mobile explains the mater:

alike to creditor and debtor, has
failed. The English Commissioners,

in London yesterday, de-
clined the plan Of compromise ten
dered by the Legislative Committee,

end. This leaves the question an open
one for further discussion on the hust.
